Products, Customers, Tools and Education

During MATS, Chevron will introduce a new fuel economy-focused, Delo-branded, heavy-duty motor oil, designed to deliver clear bottom-line improvements in a range of diesel engines.

Chevron will also highlight an online fuel economy calculator that helps fleet operators and drivers determine the potential savings that can be achieved by using Chevron's lower viscosity Delo-branded, heavy-duty motor oils.

For those interested in converting their truck or fleet to a lower viscosity oil, Chevron will publish a "Key Considerations" guide on the Expert Knowledge section of ChevronDelo.com.
